My two cents. Agreed that Dak has not stretched the field and is more successful with the check down passes under a defense. He is a rookie and I think the deep shots will be more in his playbook next year. Remember he did start camp at #3 on the depth chart behind Romo and Moore. Not a whole lotta reps there. But this is just what the team needs anyway. Dallas has to win time of possession to win games. They are in trouble when the defense is on the field too long and gets exposed.

I think that if and when Dallas secures the top seed in the NFC they will hand the ball to Romo for any remaining games. Romo has not played HEALTHY for two years. And he and the Cowboys will want to show the other 31 teams in the league that he can still play at a high level. It will be his audition for the next stop in his career. Once he shows he can still play, the Cowboys will let the market come to them.

I cannot see Houston trading for Romo. They have too much money wrapped up in the QB position and Oswieler. I could see Denver as a landing spot. They do not seem overly enamored with Siemien and Romo would be a good mentor for young Paxton Lynch. I have not heard the Rams mentioned until reading it here. But that would depend on the new Head Coach going forward. And you have to throw the Jets in there. Just because, well, they are the Jets and they like carrying 4 or 5 QBs on the roster.

Dallas will have to trade Romo. Even though from the dollar side of the discussion they SHOULD release him. I feel like Jerry Jones won't do it. He would be perfectly content to have the highest paid backup in the league if he does not get what he wants in trade value.
